Open Positions
Our lab has funding to support additional researchers, although we are not conducting a broad search at present. We are looking selectively for highly motivated candidates who combine strong statistical modeling skills with practical data science experience. If this describes you, please email me with a brief description of your research interests and a copy of your CV.
Postdoctoral Research Scientist

Master’s Student Research Assistants
We recruit master’s students from Columbia’s Department of Biostatistics as research assistants. See the research assistant job description for statistical functional genomics.
Visiting Students and Scholars
We welcome inquiries from highly motivated visiting students and scholars who are fluent in English and have a strong computational background. Please email me with your CV and a brief description of your research interests.
PhD Students
Prospective PhD students should apply directly to a relevant Columbia program. For research interests aligned with our group, the most relevant routes are the Biomedical Life Sciences PhD Program’s Computational Biology track within VIBRE and the PhD Program in Biostatistics. I am an affiliated faculty member of the VIBRE Computational Biology track, as well as the Department of Biostatistics.
For both computational biology and biostatistics, admissions decisions are made by the programs’ admissions committees. In principle, individual faculty members cannot directly admit an applicant or guarantee admission or placement in a particular lab. You may mention your interest in working with me in your application, but please do not email me separately about PhD admission before applying. If you are invited to interview or are admitted, you are welcome to contact me to discuss possible rotations and PhD mentorship.
